The proportion of Pinot Noir is 92% and 8% for Chardonnay.
The robe is gold with a remarkable brilliance
The nose: beautiful presences of fresh red fruits and white flowers in perfect harmony
Like the nose, the sensations in the mouth are very balanced between fresh red fruits and citrus fruits

The Clicquot champagne house was founded in Reims in 1772. In October 1805, under the First Empire of Napoleon I, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot née Ponsardin lost her husband at the age of 27.
She replaces him at the head of the house and names his house: Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin. She then made 100,000 bottles per year. She would make 750,000 when she died in 1866. The house today belongs to the LVMH Group.
